4 ROMANTIC EPISODE.


A Long Lost Mother Found and Fortune
Gained ut the Same Time.
News has been receiveved at Castleton
of the death in New Jersey of Mrs. Anna
Frances Prout, a divorced wife of Alonzo
W. Baker, of that town, by which a Mis-
souri, man comes into possession of a
fortune, writes Rutland, Vt, CORE
spondent of the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. The story is remarkable one.
The woman had recently figured promi-
nently in this vicinity by reason of the
numerous advertisements inserted in the
New York papers calling for information
in regard to her.
About thirty-ive years ago she was
married to A. W. Barker, with whom she
lived for several years, and of the child
rem born to them, Charley, resident of
Kansas City, and William, who lives in
Brooklyn, n. Y, are now living. She dis
appeared from her homo over twenty
years ago, and since that time had almost
been forgotten until several months ago,
when notices appeared in several papers
in regard to her asking for any informa-
ton that could be given, and stating that
the death of an uncle in New York left
an estate of about 81 100000 to be divid-
ed among nine heirs, of whom she was
one, and if proof of her death was furn-
ished the tive boys would become her
heirs, aud If it was not done her share
would have to be held in trust
Notices were sent in every direction
private detectives were put on the scsnty
trail that could be furnished. but no It'd
ings or news of the missing woman could
be found. Various reports had been sent
ont hat ch. ha., n.
CATION proved them to be all wrong, yet
the sons, in no way disheartened, kept up
the search for the mother, whom they
were determined to find if living, and. If
not, learn to certainty when and how
she died.
About six weeks ago detective in the
employ of the sons learned that a woman
answering the description of the one
they were in search of was living il Jer-
sey City in a destitute condition and in
poor health. Investigation proved her to
be the right one, and the two boys were
with her. Everything possible was done
for her comfort. and to rally her broken
down health. Her claim to her share in
the estate was easily proved, and one of
the first acts was 10 bestow on each of
the two boys $1,000 and handsome gold
watch.
Since the day she was found the two
boys have been lavish in bestowing the
best of care and attention upon the in
valid, who il was seen could not live for
many months, and who finally passed
away, not in poverty and obscurity, but
surrounded by the sons and friends from
whom she had been so long separated.
The two sons were well known here. where
they have many friends who extend sym
pothy to shem in their hour of sorrow,
and rejoice with them in the good for
tune which has befallen them in the re-
storation of a mother and the receipt of
a fortune.

Carrots and Celery

correspondence Country Gentleman.
Your correspondent, Sc. A." says l do
not SOW my carrots quickly enough. 1
was comparing the methods of sowing by
hand and sowing by machinery. But l
dare say that in good, clean ground,
about twice the average could be sowed
in day that l have mentioned. My
ground was inevitably in bad condition
for drilling, necessitating frequent stops;
otherwise 1 think I should have come up
to G. AS standard for a days work.
Mr.. Howatt refers to the great expense
of thinning the carrots when sowed with
the drill. \ small hoe will do most of
the thinning, and the work is accomplish
ed with no extra labor at hoeing time.
Sowing by hand will not entirely obvlate
hand thinning, so think l will continue
sowing with the drill. Mr.. Howatts
handling of carrots, etc, with cloth is a
remarkable good idea, and 1 wish he
would tell me whether celery, treated IN
the same manner, would do well. l think
there is danger, in starting celery in hot
beds, of killing it with too much heat;
and was thinking it might do excellent
ly sowed in the open air with the cloth
covering-Say in April. l want it for
winter use, and prefer not too rank
growth. l hope Mr.. Howatt will be OF
use to me in growing celery better and
with more certainty.

Salads for Winter.
Lonlon Gardl n.
oHICKoRY AND MUSTARD AND CREss.

OHlChORf AND MUSTARD AND CRESS.
With plenty of these no one need care
much whether they have many good let
tuces and endive at mid winter or not, as
with chicory and mustard and cress
salads of the very highest quality may be
made, and they can be easily grown in
quantity, let the weather be what 1t may.
Chicory is hardy, grows freely, and when
forced produces large quantity of deli
cate leaves. The seed should be sown an
nually in May in rows thinly, and the
young plants soon produce satisfy like
roots without much attention. These are
taken up in November, placed almost as
close as they will stand in Sinch or 10
inch pots, with some ordinary soil round
them. We wheel few barrowloads of
fermenting material into a dark shed,
plunge few pots into tn s, and in a fort
night or little more the roots throw up
tall cluster of cream colored leaves of
the finest salad making quality possible.
A few potfuls are introduced into heat
now and then, and in this way there is
no difficulty in keeping up constant sue
cession. When wanted for use the crowns
are cut right through, and if the latter be
kept in heat after that, they will push out
side growths which will come in for use
afterward.
Mustard and cress as we all know, are
easily grown. Some time ago when /
found a patch in the shallow boxes, which
we use for producing them in winter, die
away here and there prematurely, and on
making an examination to ascertain the
Cause, found that some parts of the
soil were very firm, and others were loose
and it was in the latter the plants had
failed. After that l ceased to use old
soil of any kind to fill the boxes, and sub
stituted leaf-soil making it very firm all
over. l sewed the seed on the surface,
and did not cover it in any way, finally
placing it in temperature of 60o.
Here growth was rapid, and in 10 days
each box was an even mass of beautiful
mustard and cress. In leaf soil it grows
uncommonly well-better, indeed, than
in anything else we have tried, and uni
form tirmness retains the whole in excel
lent condition. Our winter mustard and
cress boxes are those which we use for
bedding plants in spring. They are
inches deep, foot wide, and 2 feet 6
inches long. By sowing from two to four
of these weekly, regular and plentiful
supply is kept up, and if frost chances to
catch lettuces or endive they are not miss
ed

A Great Drawback in the South.
ChfCaro Ha-.Ij

"A fall of snow like this would be worth
money down where 1 live" said passen-
ger from the south, looking out of the
passenger car window upon the vintered
earth.
How is that 50
why, for the chicken business. I'm in
the poultry line myself down near Atlar-
ia. A fall of snow like this would stay on
the ground month would save me a.
least hundred puliets and dozen or
two of turkeys"
Il don't understand. Snow is not
necessary to the health of the poultry, is
it.''
You bet it is. There's nothing like a
two-inch fall of snow if you're in the
poultry business in place where you're
all surrounded by colored people. The
lack of snow is one of the great draw
backs to the chicken business in the
south"

the feeding is indispensable to digestion.
as the salivary fluid is true digestive
agent ahd dissolves starch and converts
1t into sugar.
regular ration of salt is also required
for digestion, "a the acid of salt hydro
chloricl Is present in the digestive fluid
of the stomach and some soda (the alkali
of salt Is always present in the bile,
which Is one of the important agents of
digestion. Mixed food is better than any
one, for one helps considerably to digest
the other. Thus. bran helps in the diges-
ton of corn aid oats, and so does hnseed
meal, beside providing the necessary oil
required for complete digestion of crude
ibre and heterogeneous matter.
Water should always be given before
feeding and never Immediately sfterward.
Collie is often produced by copious water
ing soon after eating. and also by water
ing when the animal is hot and weary
from work: the stomach, being chilled, is
for the time incapable of digesting any
food. Light feeding is to be given dur
Ing hard or rapid work, and the full feed
Is only given after sufficient rest. Over
feeding Is to be specially avoided. and
regularity Is very important. One II
quart pailful of cut hay and four pounds
of meal Is full feed for a thousand
pound horse given twice day with an
equivalent feeding between of oats or
corn and long hay. Orchard grass hay
cut just at the blossoming is excellent
for horses; ripe timothy is the next best,
and corn blades. pulled green, make as
good feed as any. Dusty or noldy food
is to be specially avoided, not only for
its effect upon the digestive organs, but
for its evil results upon the respiratory
functions. Idleness is conducive to indi-
gestion, and during the present season
particularly horses should be turned out
for exercise every day.
Green food in the summer is often the
cause of serious indigestion with its COM
mon results-colic, and rupture of the
stomach, which is inevitably fatal. Such
food should never be given wet, or heat
eed by fermentation after cutting, or in
excessive quantity, nor when horse is
weary. Glover or rye should be cut after
the dew is off and before the heat of the
day and spread in the shade to wilt, or in
the afternoon, and left to wilt until the
next day. A sprinkling of salt will tend
to avoid trouble with such food as it pre-
vent fermentation.

THE POWER OF COCAINE.
An Interesting Address on Its Use as Cure
for Neuralgia.

An Interesting Address on Its Use as a Cure
for Neuralgia.
New York Nail and Express.
DR.. Leonard Corning, of this city, well
known as writer on nervous diseases,
cal society, in session in Albany, an in
teresting paper on the cure of neuralgia
by the use of cocaine. The method de-
vised by DR.. Corning for Introducing the
remedy into skin about the affected
nerves, and retaining it there, is ingeni-
Gus. A number of fine needles are pro-
jected into the skin by means of deli
cate instrument provided with a spring.
Over the perforated portion of the skin a
sponge saturated with solution of CO.
csins is placed. This sponge is connected
with the positive pole of galvanic bat
terry. The electric circuit is then closed.
a procedure which causes the cocaine to
enter the part, so that In about ten min
utes the skin is saturated and quite in
sensitive. Over the medicated portion
of the skin a piece of fine wire gauze is
now placed and secured in position by
means of an elastic band, which, on being
frightened sufficiently, eIerts uniform
pressure upon the gauze. The effect
of this procedure is to cause closure of
the capillsries beneath the medicated
dexied access to the part, can not wash
out the remedy and distribute ii through
out the general circulation. Thus the
action of the remedy upon the nerves of
the skin may be indefinitely prolonged.

Wheh the air with peace is laden
In the evening see will roam.
Ia the evening down the meadow
To the stile upon the lane,
Where beneath the oak shadow
She will meet her love again.
She has very many lovers,
Has this maiden, half a score;
She's a fortune to the glovers
With her twenty pair, or more.
There's the banker and the tailor
Who are looking out for wives,
And our parson e soma sailor
Will make love when he arrives.

While tn. ca plain talks of battle,
And besieges with a frown.

Comes TO market la our square,
Bringing with him, wet or dry day,
Posies gathered for the fair.
They implore her till she blu hes

So their vows and SPIT eches brushes
But she is not all unkind;
For she tells me of their going,
With a laughing sort Of smile,

4 CHASE FOR LIFE.

Philaielphia Times

1t seldom happens that the punishment
of an offender follows so quickly the com
mission of q crime as was the case in
Camden yeterday afternoon. Between
and O'Clock three half grown girls, who
had left their homes to look at the mill
tary procession in connection with the
funeral of two members Of the 9Th regi-
nent, were standing by the hedge sur
rounding the mansion of Hon. John F.
Starr, at the crossing of the Camden and
Atlanta railroad, when an unknown man
sprang upon them, knocked one of them
down, and attempted to commit an as
ssult. The screams of the girls were
heard by William Shiller, of No. 1.026
South Third street, and he approached
the spot from whence the outcry came.
As he approached the rascal took to his
heels.
He had several hundred feet the start
of Schiller, but the latter was persistent
in the chase, and the two men ran over
the open lots for fully q mile. The vii
lain then attempted to enter the bailt-up
